Dangerously In Love

Chapter 22

1 week later..

Antrone

Today was the day of my doctor's appointment, but I already know what I'm going to hear. I know I have some damage to my brain from all the beatings, and I don't need to hear them tell me it again.

I'm on the way to my appointment with Mrs. Peters and Solai.

Once we made it to the doctors, we signed in and waited for my name to be called.

"Are you ok?" Solai asked.

She cares.

"Yeah, I'm ok mama."

She looked at me and smiled. She grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Mr. Stevens." We heard.

We followed a nurse to the third floor, when we walked into the room I saw a big machine. I'm guessing that's what's going to scan my damn head. Fuck I want to leave already.

"Mr. Stevens, can you change into this robe and then we'll begin the scan?"

I nodded and walked to the bathroom changing.

15 minutes later

"Ok Mr. Stevens you can get up and change back into your clothes when you're ready."

As I got up, I looked at the glass and seen the doctor showing my scan to Mrs. Peters and Solai.

Once I was fully dressed I came out and the nurse escorted us back to the room while the doctor stayed behind and studied my scans.

"You feel ok?" Solai asked me.

"Yeah, I'm ok mama don't worry bout me."

"You just look like you're thinking about a lot."

"I just don't want to hear the bullshit." I shook my head, sighing.

"It's going to be ok, even if they tell us bad news." She said as she looked at me.

No it's not.

We heard a knock on the door.

"Hello everyone, my name is Ms. Gabrielle, it's very nice to meet you all. I wish it could be in better circumstances." She said as she walked in and took a seat by the computer, putting some papers down.

"Hi." We all said.

"Mr. Stevens, from your previous doctor visits it shows that you had multiple injuries in your childhood. Can you tell me a little about that?"

"I experienced abuse when I was young."

"Were there ever times you experienced severe damage to your head?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry to say this, but the severe damage you experienced has spread."

She grabbed the papers and showed us the papers.

"These dark spots you see are small bacteria and they are infecting your brain. When there are excessive hits to the head, infections can spread and affect your neurons. This can cause hallucinations, mood changes, mental illness, anger, and more."

She's lying.

"Is there a treatment?" Solai asked.

"There is a treatment but there are complications that can come with it. Brain surgery is the most risky procedure to perform. There can be many complications because most likely something will go wrong."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"Something that many have tried but it hasn't worked is antibiotics. I don't want to put that into his system because antibiotics have an affect on your blood in the long run. However, it's a safer option."

Don't do it.

"Ok, when you say it affects his blood what exactly do you mean?" Mrs. Peters asked.

"There can be a decrease in proper blood flow due to blood clots and sickle cell anemia can be formed."

Both of them sound like a lose lose.

"I'm dyin?"

"No-"

Yes.

"STOP! Don't sell me the fuckin bullshit no mo, am I dyin if I don't do something to treat it?" I yelled as I stood up. Causing the chair I was sitting in to fall.

"It's possibl-"

I walked out before she could finish and slammed the door on my way out. I walked to the bathroom and closed the door.

You're dying. They gon kill you.

"GET OUT MY FUCKIN HEAD." Tears started falling down my face.
